In this Monday, Oct. 9, 2017, file photo, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo discusses the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department headquarters in Las Vegas. On Monday, Lombardo said Paddock shot and wounded the security guard outside his door and opened fire through his door around 9:59 p.m. — six minutes before shooting into the crowd. That was a different account from the one police gave last week: that Paddock shot the guard, Jesus Campos, after unleashing his barrage of fire on the crowd.

FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2017 file photo, a little-known device called a &quot;bump stock&quot; is attached to a semi-automatic rifle at the Gun Vault store and shooting range in South Jordan, Utah.

It remains unclear, however, what if any action the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will take on so-called bump stocks. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
